    I think it's good for both Joc and the Angels. Joc had a real chance to prove himself with a pretty good offensive team, and the Angels add yet another bag in a DH league.

    Dodgers get some salary room to re-sign Betts for a longer term stay.

    I just realized that Pujols is gone after 2021.......this is an audition for Joc to fill his DH roll.

    Naturally I was out to dinner when everything went down and my wife took my car with the XM radio so I had to drive back from Boulder in the snow while updating my twitter. Loving Price at $15M per and the return for Betts is insane. While Price may not be what he was, his upside is still higher than Maeda's and I said a couple of weeks ago, Verdugo for Betts straight up would be an easy yes. The face that our farm system is intact and that we added an intriguing young guy as well was a nice touch.

    They just wanted under the tax all along. Price being put in the deal seems to be what got this thing done.

    As much as I love verdugo it has to be a red flag for a guy that young to be out that long w back issues

    padres wanted to include Wil Myers. Could’ve challenged for a WC spot by essentially just buying Betts and they didn’t!

    yup and they don’t even know how to define the injury. Oblique and back injuries that can’t be defined... not good

    Angels getting Joc Pederson, a big league starter and a prospect from the Dodgers in exchange for Luis Rengifo and another prospect.

    Hm. I’ll guess Stripling. Hm weird

    Luis Rengifo was the Angels #6 prospect entering 2019. He had a rough first year, but I have seen some people that think he could be solid. From BA:

    Track Record: Rengifo signed with the Mariners for $360,000 out of Venezuela in 2014 and was traded to the Rays in 2017. Just before 2018 spring training, the Angels acquired Rengifo from Tampa Bay for C.J. Cron. Rengifo surprised even the Angels with a breakout 2018. He jumped three levels from high Class A to Triple-A, showing superb plate discipline and bat-to-ball skills. Overall he hit .299 with 41 steals and as many walks as strikeouts (75), causing one front office official to liken Rengifo to "finding gold."

    Scouting Report: Rengifo is a strong and athletic switch-hitter with a compact swing and a line-drive approach. He stays in the strike zone and doesn't chase, allowing him to find good pitches to drive on a line. He doesn't elevate for home runs but has extra-base power and is getting stronger. Rengifo steals bags more with his superb instincts than his average speed, though he finds another gear underway. A natural shortstop who is still improving at second base, Rengifo is an average defender with an average arm up the middle.

    The Future: Rengifo is in position to reach the majors in 2019. Most see him as a future utility infielder, but he does all the little things to potentially be more than that.

    What the fuck... unless they're getting like Marsh... or insanely and even more unlikely Adell, this is becoming fucking garbage.

    yeah Joc, a SP, and a spec for utility infielder and a meh spec kinda sucks

    Boston trade a steal, this one is weird. Joc is a good ass hitter. SPs are hard to get
